Speaker 1 (00:00):
My hierarchy breakfast statement. It's past eight time for lame
claims to fame.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let's go straight to the phone lines, I reckon. Yo, Adrian,
what's your lame claim to fame?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I've had a friend for the last 25 years who
emigrated from England with his family and.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
His mum used to go out when she was 17
with Mr David Bowie.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Oh, when she was 17. I should have asked. And
he was too. Oh, good, good, good. You landed that one.
I think it was David Jones then or something. Oh, yeah,
he was David Jones. That's right. That was his old name,
wasn't it? Wow. That is quite a... Has she got
any stories about what they did together, Adrian? No, not
at all.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
She said she was not allowed to tell anybody. All right.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
No one now, and she's in her 80s. Signed the NDA. Oh,
good on her. What a great claim to fame. Good stuff, Adrian.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Thanks very much for the call. We've put the call
out on SoshMed, as we always do as well, and
a bunch have come through. Stevo writes, I'm the person
who changed Matt Heath's name to Leslie Matthew Heath on Wikipedia.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh, that's good. Well, I tell you what, you've actually
given me one of the best gags I've had for
some time, one of the best laughs I've had for
some time. Me? No, Stevo, for doing that, because... Recently,
Matt had to sign some official documents... That's right. which
were given to him by some people here at NZME.
And on the official documents, it had, at the bottom,
(01:31):
Leslie Matthew... It had his name, Leslie Matthew Heath, and
he got the documents. He goes, what? Hold on, what's this?
And they're like... He goes, what's this name at the bottom?
And they said, well, that's your name, Leslie Matthew Heath.
That's on your Wikipedia page.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
He goes.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
That's not actually my real name.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Lawyers are going on Wikipedia to find the legal name
of someone.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I just love that effect. He was like, no, that's
actually not mine.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Craig Redmond has written, Tim Shadbolt fell asleep on my
shoulder while reading a book about Tim Shadbolt.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Now, is that real or is that a dream? Because
that sounds exactly like something that you'd hear in a dream.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Tim Sherbolt fell asleep on my shoulder while reading a
book about Tim Sherbolt.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That's from Craig. I wonder how long ago that was, Craig.
I'd love to hear whether that was 5, 10, 15,
20 years ago. Give us a bell, Craig.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Timmy writes, I dated a girl whose cousin was in
the Presidents of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The band? The band that put out Peaches.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Great song, Peaches.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Luke, my parents sold their house to the artist for
the Snack-A-Chang-E chip bags.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Not Lee Hart.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Not Lee Hart, but the person who made the artwork
for that stuff. Evidently lucrative if they're buying houses off people.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I bet.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
My cousin's partner is cousins with Tamari Martin and Tain Tuopiki.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Wow. I didn't know they were cousins.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Well, are they, or is that on separate sides of
the family, perhaps?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Perhaps.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
This is from Studowudo.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And NZ Russ has written, spent 10 years working on
the City Rail.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Link project, and we open on Sunday. Is that a
little bit of internal propaganda? Okay, well, hold on for
a second. What, so you worked somewhere? Is that the
lamest one that we've had so far? Potentially.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
We've been writing a theory that we'd never find the
bottom of this well. Are we getting close, do you think?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I feel like with that one, spent 10 years working
on the City Rail Link project and we open on Sunday.
I mean, so is that an official council email there?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's not, but this could be some sort of backdoor
situation from them. Anyway, give us a text, 3483, or
give us a call, 0800 Hauraki. Your lame claims to fame.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I mean, a lot of people have worked at places.
That's just like saying, well, I worked at... Oh, I
work at farmers. Ha ha ha!
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Not even fame.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
0800 HODAKI 3483. Have we reached the bottom of the well?
3483 0800 HODAKI. We're looking for your lame claims to fame.
No claim to fame is too lame. Everybody's got one.
Everybody has a claim to fame. If you think about
your life, if you look back into your history, everyone's
(04:19):
got one. But we've had hundreds of lame claims to
fame over the last, what, year and a half? Yes.
And we feel like maybe, we're always like, is this
a bottomless well?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Is it going to run out at some point? Are
we eventually going to hit the mantle of the earth?
Someone texted us before, we thought we might have found
the end of it. They said, I work on the
city rail link and it opens on Sunday. I thought
that could have been the end of it. What about
this one? I'll do you one better. I'll do you
one lamer, Gerry.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I didn't work on the city rail link and it
opens on Sunday. Yeah, okay. That is particularly lamest. Go
to Amy from Christchurch. Morning, Amy. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Morning.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
What's your lane claim to fame, Amy?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
So I was doing a ski season in Verbier in Switzerland,
and I was working for a guy who was quite wealthy.
And he asked me to just do some chalet work
for him one night. And I went down to the kitchen,
and oh, there's Fergie and her daughter. And they're planning
(05:16):
a birthday party for their father that night, Prince Andrew.
He was turning 60. And my night ended with me
dancing on a tabletop, singing Prince Andrew, happy birthday, in
a Sailor Girl outfit.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Are you serious, Amy?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Really? Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah. I've still got the outfit somewhere and a lovely
book of photos of Fergie and his family and Andrew
with a big thank you note.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I think there's some people who would like to see
those photos, some judges and lawyers.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Who else was at the party, Amy? I mean, I
don't know if this is the forum to be asking
these questions, but who else was at Prince Andrew's 60th?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah, Prince Andrew's 60th in Switzerland. It was like a
dinner party. Fergie was there. The door says, I can't
remember who else, but there's a guy called Paddy McNally's house.
And then a few nights later, it was New Year's Eve.
And there was, yeah, the wealthy of the world. It
was quite a... A wild affair.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
That would have been a very strange experience. Tell me this, Amy.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
What year roughly was that?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
How old was I? Well, yeah, but when... I don't
know if I want to know the answer to that.
How long ago was that?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Oh, I would probably say... 2020?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Only 20, so close to 20 years ago now. Um....
Speaker 1 (06:40):
In terms of the dancing on the table, so were
you requested to dance on the table or you just
decided that.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
And sing happy birthday. No, and sing happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Just you, Amy?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
They thought it would be fun.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Were you part of an ensemble?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
No, part of a... with two other chalet girls that
were living there permanently.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And the costume, was that talent's own? Did you bring
that with you or was that provided for you?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
No, it was provided for me and it was a
baby pink.
All-in-one sailor girl outfit with a little hat and black
fishnet tights.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I mean, famously, he was in the Navy. Sure. Wasn't he?
Was he Air Force or was he Navy? I can't remember. No,
he was Navy.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I don't know. I don't know. But the guy whose
house it was was the one that introduced Fergie and Andrew.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
A guy called Paddy. Right.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
His first name wasn't Jeffrey. Yeah, I was going to say.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
No. No.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
No, definitely not Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
But he could have been there.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He may well have been. Are we one degree of
separation away from... What a story, Amy. I always knew
Jerry would be in those files. I just didn't know
this would be how it ended up that way. Incredible story, Amy.
I imagine the night ended well, Amy?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, I mean, I got paid pretty well, so.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And you got home all right.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, I got home okay.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Can I ask how much you get paid in that situation?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Oh, it was a long time ago now, but I
think I was charging like 40 francs an hour.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
What's the exchange rate on that?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
80 bucks?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
50, yeah, 56. I don't even know anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, wow. What a story. Great story, Amy.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Thanks very much for the call.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
No worries. Glad to hear you're okay. Good on you, Amy.
That was good on you for sharing. Poor old Mel
from Papamoa. She's got to follow that up. She's on
the line now. Morning, Mel.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Morning.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You didn't dance nude for the Queen by any chance,
did you?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
No, but that story's kind of terrifying.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm kind of reading between the lines.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I know. Well, knowing what we know now, it is
absolutely terrifying, but it seems that everything was okay in
that situation. What's your lame claim to fame, Mel?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, it's actually really lame. When I was in primary
school in the 80s and I was about seven or eight,
one of my classmates' mum went on Sail of the Century.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, with Steve Parr and Jude Dobson.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, yeah, or Judith Kirk back then, but it was
a pretty big deal then.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And so you knew someone who was on Sail of
the Century once?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I knew someone whose mum was on Sail of the Century. Yeah,
their mum. Excellent, Mel. Thank you very much. That was
actually quite a good palate cleanser, Mel. Thank you very
much for that. I'm happy to help.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm happy to help. And FYI, I choose the NRL
grand final.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Good on you, Mel. We'll whip Mel in the drawer.
Keep those coming in. 3483 0800 HODAKI. What is your
lame claim to fame? Does it involve royalty and table
dancing in a pink sailor suit? G-Lane Maxwell. Never miss
Jerry and Mania.

Set the Hauraki Breakfast podcast to auto-download in your podcast settings.
So we've been getting a lot of texts coming through
about the last lame claim to fame, which was Amy,
who said she danced at Prince Andrew's 60th birthday party.
He asked her how long ago that was. She said some, like,
(10:16):
20 years ago-ish. She said it was back.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
When she was in her 20s.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
20 years ago, a lot of people text again saying,
Prince Andrew's only 66, which, got to be honest, I
thought he was way older than that, which would mean
he was in his 40s or something.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah. It does sound it didn't line up. Yeah, there's
a few people calling BS on Amy's truth, on Amy's truth. Well,
she's spoken her truth. Yeah, but I've had a little look.
I've gone back and done a bit of research. Prince
Andrew celebrated his 50th birthday on, In February 2010. So
(10:51):
that would check out around about, you know, what she
said 20 years ago, but I mean 16 years ago, whatever,
with a private dinner at his ski chalet in Verbier, Switzerland.
There you go. Alongside his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their daughters,
Beatrice and Eugenie. So it was.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
His 50th, not his 60th.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, that's right. Oh, well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I've got to be honest, I did not feel like
Amy was lying to us.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No, no, I don't doubt what Amy said. That felt
very true to me. And equal parts hilarious and terrifying.
So there we are. We didn't reach the bottom of
the well. Instead, we came across a gem.
My hierarchy breakfast statement. It's past eight time for lame
claims to fame.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let's go straight to the phone lines, I reckon. Yo, Adrian,

Speaker 2 (08:12):
What's the exchange rate on that?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
80 bucks?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
50, yeah, 56. I don't even know anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, wow. What a story. Great story, Amy.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Thanks very much for the call.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
No worries. Glad to hear you're okay. Good on you, Amy.
That was good on you for sharing. Poor old Mel
from Papamoa. She's got to follow that up. She's on
the line now. Morning, Mel.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Morning.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You didn't dance nude for the Queen by any chance,
did you?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
No, but that story's kind of terrifying.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm kind of reading between the lines.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I know. Well, knowing what we know now, it is
absolutely terrifying, but it seems that everything was okay in
that situation. What's your lame claim to fame, Mel?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, it's actually really lame. When I was in primary
school in the 80s and I was about seven or eight,
one of my classmates' mum went on Sail of the Century.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, with Steve Parr and Jude Dobson.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, yeah, or Judith Kirk back then, but it was
a pretty big deal then.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And so you knew someone who was on Sail of
the Century once?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I knew someone whose mum was on Sail of the Century. Yeah,
their mum. Excellent, Mel. Thank you very much. That was
actually quite a good palate cleanser, Mel. Thank you very
much for that. I'm happy to help.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm happy to help. And FYI, I choose the NRL
grand final.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Good on you, Mel. We'll whip Mel in the drawer.
Keep those coming in. 3483 0800 HODAKI. What is your
lame claim to fame? Does it involve royalty and table
dancing in a pink sailor suit? G-Lane Maxwell. Never miss
Jerry and Mania.

So we've been getting a lot of texts coming through
about the last lame claim to fame, which was Amy,
who said she danced at Prince Andrew's 60th birthday party.
He asked her how long ago that was. She said some, like,
(10:16):
20 years ago-ish. She said it was back.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
When she was in her 20s.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
20 years ago, a lot of people text again saying,
Prince Andrew's only 66, which, got to be honest, I
thought he was way older than that, which would mean
he was in his 40s or something.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah. It does sound it didn't line up. Yeah, there's
a few people calling BS on Amy's truth, on Amy's truth. Well,
she's spoken her truth. Yeah, but I've had a little look.
I've gone back and done a bit of research. Prince
Andrew celebrated his 50th birthday on, In February 2010. So
(10:51):
that would check out around about, you know, what she
said 20 years ago, but I mean 16 years ago, whatever,
with a private dinner at his ski chalet in Verbier, Switzerland.
There you go. Alongside his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their daughters,
Beatrice and Eugenie. So it was.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
His 50th, not his 60th.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, that's right. Oh, well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I've got to be honest, I did not feel like
Amy was lying to us.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No, no, I don't doubt what Amy said. That felt
very true to me. And equal parts hilarious and terrifying.
So there we are. We didn't reach the bottom of
the well. Instead, we came across a gem.
